Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola, Cello and Orchestra (Mozart)
The Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola, Cello and Orchestra in A major, K.Anh 104 (320e), is an incomplete composition by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Background[]
Mozart is believed to have started work on this concerto around the same time as the Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major K. 364.[1][a] For unknown reasons Mozart abandoned the work after writing 134 bars of the opening movement.[2]
Structure[]
As completed the work consists of a single movement Allegro.
Completions[]
Several composers have completed the movement. Around 1870, Otto Bach composed a completion which Dennis Pajot described as having a very obvious join between the part written by Mozart and the part written by Bach.[2] In 1969, Robert D. Levin wrote a completion that was more sympathetic to the surviving material.[2][3] More recently, composer Hans Ueckert announced he was working on a completion for the Octava Chamber Orchestra.[4] Another composer to have made a completion is Philip Wilby.[5] Another completion was made by Italian Composer Alessandro Solbiati for I Solisti Aquilani and played first time in Rotterdam during International Viola Congress 2018 (Soloists: Daniele Orlando, Violin – Gianluca Saggini, Viola – Giulio Ferretti, Violoncello).
